|
|
* AVBuffer is an API for reference-counted data buffers.
|
|
*
|
|
* There are two core objects in this API -- AVBuffer and AVBufferRef. AVBuffer
|
|
* represents the data buffer itself; it is opaque and not meant to be accessed
|
|
* by the caller directly, but only through AVBufferRef. However, the caller may
|
|
* e.g. compare two AVBuffer pointers to check whether two different references
|
|
* are describing the same data buffer. AVBufferRef represents a single
|
|
* reference to an AVBuffer and it is the object that may be manipulated by the
|
|
* caller directly.
|
|
*
|
|
* There are two functions provided for creating a new AVBuffer with a single
|
|
* reference -- av_buffer_alloc() to just allocate a new buffer, and
|
|
* av_buffer_create() to wrap an existing array in an AVBuffer. From an existing
|
|
* reference, additional references may be created with av_buffer_ref().
|
|
* Use av_buffer_unref() to free a reference (this will automatically free the
|
|
* data once all the references are freed).
|
|
*
|
|
* The convention throughout this API and the rest of FFmpeg is such that the
|
|
* buffer is considered writable if there exists only one reference to it (and
|
|
* it has not been marked as read-only). The av_buffer_is_writable() function is
|
|
* provided to check whether this is true and av_buffer_make_writable() will
|
|
* automatically create a new writable buffer when necessary.
|
|
* Of course nothing prevents the calling code from violating this convention,
|
|
* however that is safe only when all the existing references are under its
|
|
* control.
|
|
*
|
|
* @note Referencing and unreferencing the buffers is thread-safe and thus
|
|
* may be done from multiple threads simultaneously without any need for
|
|
* additional locking.
|
|
*
|
|
* @note Two different references to the same buffer can point to different
|
|
* parts of the buffer (i.e. their AVBufferRef.data will not be equal).
